You'll find plenty of ways to be entertained in this cavernous two-story bar. On Friday and Saturday nights, the downstairs stage features a steady parade of local bands playing anything from original work to covers of '70s rock standards. The room where performances are held is large and has plenty of cocktail tables and couches that tend to be filled by local twentysomethings. In addition, the six big-screen and 30 smaller-screen televisions are big draws whenever there's a major broadcast sporting event. There are also plenty of arcade games, two dart boards complete with cricket scoreboard, and a selection of board games including checkers, backgammon and Monopoly kept behind the bar. Upstairs houses a full bar, eight regulation pool tables ($5-$10 per hour), two table-tennis tables ($5-$10 per hour), and table games like foosball and hockey -- however, that area's only open Wednesday through Sunday.
